SYNOPSIS

MAN PUSH CART tells the story of Ahmad a former Pakistani rock singer who ekes out a living selling coffee and donuts to morning commuters from his push cart in Midtown Manhattan, in order to provide a better life for his estranged young son. The routine of his hard life is brightened by two developments: the arrival of a young Spanish woman working in a newspaper kiosk; and an offer of assistance from a wealthy fellow Pakistani, who remembers Ahmad's former life as a rock star.

Inspired by The Myth of Sisyphus, MAN PUSH CART is a beautifully observed, subtle, haunting and insightful first feature that reveals a rarely depicted community in the Big Apple and is highlighted by strong central performances and stunning photography.
